A first-year's guide to restaurants around Franklin Street
Posted Jul 29, 2021
With a prime location on Franklin Street, Sutton's is almost a century old. It first opened in 1923, and the interior has stayed mostly the same. Pictures of Tar Heel greats line the wall in the store. Its owner, Don Pinney, says it’s the only place of its kind. If you visit Time-Out, make sure to try the chicken and cheddar biscuit, one of its most popular items.
